We caught the murderer on camera
Stupid thing has killed all of our chickens and keeps opening our food barrels. I think its time to go hunting...

Or... If you're going to have a farm, do it properly.
Put your chickens in a coop at night that locks and lock the food barrels.

They are in a coop at night this sucker keeps breaking in. We've lived here 13 years with chickens and have never had a raccoon like this before. I have to have dh get some locking rings for the food barrels. Since it wasnt an issue until now we don't have any.ReadingRainbow wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 11:01 am Or...

That sucks! We had never had issues with predators before, but this last winter we lost most of our chickens to a raccoon and a hawk.

Raccoons can get through chicken wire, and you need a lock that is either a key lock or combination lock. They can figure out latch locks pretty easily.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 11:07 amThey are in a coop at night this sucker keeps breaking in.

These are pretty handy too:

But attempting to kill off nature is not a good way to keep a farm, nature always wins.

Ugh! Those things are so foul. What the hell good do they even do? Your poor chickens
I would just kill the sucker by poisoning it NOT that Im telling you to do that. That's just what I would do to get rid of pesky animals

We had a locking chicken coop. A raccoon ripped through the siding, insulation, and the paneling inside and killed chickens. We repaired it and another raccoon did the same in a different spot
